Indianapolis Driver's License Suspensions and Reinstatement Attorney

Let Us Help You Reinstate Your Driver's License

When the Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) or an Indiana court determines
that a driver has acted in an illegal or harmful way—or has demonstrated
a pattern of committing smaller offenses—they can suspend your driver's
license. Not being able to drive can often seriously disrupt a driver's
life and knowing how the BMV's license suspension and reinstatement system
works can be critical in making sure you are legally back on the road
as soon as possible.

If your license has been suspended and you want to streamline the reinstatement
process, then it is recommended that you contact a knowledgeable and thorough
Indianapolis driver's license lawyer at
Keffer Hirschauer LLP today. Our trusted team is ready to sit down with you, review the circumstances
of your suspension, and help you take the proper steps to get you back
behind the wheel.

Accumulating 18 or more traffic ticket "points" during a two-year
period (as explained below)

Your License & "Points"

Indiana uses a points system to monitor a driver's illegal activity on
the road, where each moving violation assigns certain number of points
to your license. If eighteen of these points accumulate on your license
over the course of two years, then a hearing is set and it is likely your
license automatically becomes suspended.

Common violations and their point values include:

Traveling 1-15 mph over the speed limit: 2 points

Ignoring a traffic device: 4 points

Failure to signal: 2 points

Failure to yield: 6 points

Failure to yield for an emergency vehicle: 8 points

Improper U-turn: 4 points

Driving while suspended: 8 points plus a mandatory suspension

Many of the more serious violations come with high point value, plus an
automatic license suspension of one year. These include
driving while suspended, resisting law enforcement inside a vehicle, and operating a vehicle while
being suspended as a habitual traffic violator.

Getting Your License Reinstated

Just because you have accumulated eighteen or more points does not necessarily
mean your license will be completely suspended. If a BMV hearing is set,
then you may have the opportunity to argue down some of your violations
or petition for
specialized driving privileges. At Keffer Hirschauer LLP, we are prepared to stand by you during these
hearings, speak emphatically on your behalf, and ensure that every avenue
towards retaining your ability to drive is explored.

There are some cases in which it is possible to completely avoid a license
suspension or to get your driver's license reinstated sooner rather than
later. For example, it may be possible to prove that the driver was actually
insured at the time of his or her citation, or there may be strong grounds
to contest a DUI/OVWI/OVI suspension in an administrative hearing (such
as the grounds that the officer did not have enough probable cause to
make the stop).
